Top SchoolNeil Pereira is a Senior Software Engineer with 7 years' experience building scalable, reliable backend and infrastructure systems, now at Tesla after leading end-to-end backend ownership at Mosaic Manufacturing. He specializes in Rust, Go, and TypeScript, introducing Rust for performance-critical services and shipping Rust-to-WASM modules integrated into React where latency mattered. Neil combines architecture, Terraform-managed AWS infrastructure, and production ops—building CI/CD, rate limiting, SSO integrations, and Datadog-driven observability to improve reliability at scale. His background in Honours Mathematics and Computer Science from McGill informs a correctness-first approach to system design and failure detection. He enjoys owning meaningful systems and seeing immediate production impact, with hands-on experience migrating teams (JS→TS) and automating infrastructure. Colleagues rely on him for pragmatic, maintainable solutions that balance performance and developer experience.
